Note 2. Goodwill

The Company has goodwill recorded on the consolidated financial statements relating to the purchase of five branches during the years 1994 through 2000. The balance of the goodwill at December 31, 2011 and 2010, as reflected on the consolidated balance sheets, was $2,807,842. Management determined that these purchases qualified as acquisitions of businesses and that the related unidentifiable intangibles were goodwill. Therefore, amortization was discontinued effective January 1, 2002. Subsequently, this goodwill has been tested annually for impairment. The test performed as of September 30, 2010 found no impairment. Based on ASU 2011-08, which the Company has chosen to adopt early, a qualitative assessment performed as of September 30, 2011 indicated that no further impairment testing was necessary for 2011. Considerations of the qualitative assessment included macroeconomic conditions, industry and market environments, financial performance of the five branches, and changes in key personnel, customers or strategy, none of which cause management to believe that the goodwill is impaired.
